New Delhi: Congress general secretary in-charge Communications Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday said party president and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge and a few MPs of the party will be unable to attend the President’s address to both Houses of Parliament as their flights from Srinagar are delayed because of inclement weather conditions.
“Due to delayed flights from Srinagar airport on account of inclement weather conditions, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge and many other Congress MPs will be unable to attend the President’s address to both Houses of Parliament at 11am today,” the Congress MP tweeted.
